Key Limes are generally better than Persian/Tahiti limes anyway, although for most of the year all I can get are Persians. Fortunately, I'm in Key Lime season. Limes need to be kept very cool, but not too cold (not below 45º). They also need considerable humidity (best at ± 95%). Let's see... desert... very cool... desert... high humidity. Nope. Definitely go for the Nellie & Joe's. It's the next best thing to fresh key lime juice and you can store it at room temperature until you open it. I'd still bring some fresh limes with me, but I wouldn't expect them to stand the test of time in that environment.
